LCD Soundsystem once again pleases me with this positively-charged release. "Beat Connection" drew me to searching far and wide for this song, which has everything I love in this style of electro: rock sensibilities, tribal rhythms, playful vocals, and an upbeat tempo.
oh yes,
i'll shamelessly rock both sides in one night: at a party, art opening, between punk bands, or at a dance club.
Both of these tracks rule and the sound quality is amazing. Anytime sombody tries to deride so called "electroclash" i point to this record -> so punk, so disco, so good! i should buy another copy cause i'm gonna wear this one to the ground.

another great release on the dfa label, this is a stab at all those wannabe music know-it-all scenesters who think they're on some new shit. i laugh because the lyrics are pure genius and the simple beat is great. music references of everything from yaz to daft punk to basic channel and afrika bambaataa make this a record worth listening too for its humor alone. whether you get it or not, "the jokes on you!" this record is brilliant!
